Anchor Song
Bjork & Tahnaiya Russell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And during the night
I dive into it
Down to the bottom
Underneath all currents
And drop my anchor
This is where I´m staying
This is my home
I live by the ocean
And during the night
I dive into it
Down to the bottom
Underneath all currents
And drop my anchor
This is where I´m staying
This is my home
The lyrics of Bjork and Tahnaiya Russell's song Anchor Song describe a deep connection with the ocean, symbolizing a sense of home and belonging. The repeated verse "I live by the ocean and during the night, I dive into it, down to the bottom, underneath all currents and drop my anchor" creates a metaphorical image of anchoring oneself to a place or feeling. The singer of the lyrics seems to imply that the ocean is a place of solace and an escape from the outside world. The line "this is where I'm staying, this is my home" further emphasizes this sentiment, suggesting that the ocean provides a sense of permanence and comfort.
Moreover, the use of the repetitious structure of the lyrics could be a nod to ocean currents, which themselves are cyclical and repetitive. The song's ebb and flow could represent the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of change. Overall, the Anchor Song could be viewed as a meditation on finding a sense of stability and peace in the midst of life's unpredictable currents.

I live by the ocean
My house is close to the sea
And during the night
Time of the day when I perform this action
I dive into it
I jump into the sea
Down to the bottom
My aim is to reach the lowest point of the sea
Underneath all currents
The flow of water will not stop me from diving deep
And drop my anchor
I settle here by dropping my anchor to a specific point on the sea floor
This is where I´m staying
This is my location of residence
This is my home
This is the place where I feel most comfortable and connected to

Took the breath from my open mouth
Never known how it broke me down
I went in circles somewhere else
Shook the best when your love was home
Storing up on your summer glow
You went in search of someone else
And I hear your ship is comin' in
Your tears a sea for me to swim
And I hear a storm is comin' in
My dear, is it all we've ever been?
Caught the air in your woven mouth
Leave it all, I'll be hearing how you went
In search of someone else
They taught the hand that taut the bride
Both our eyes locked to the tide
We went in circles somewhere else
And I hear your ship is comin' in
Your tears a sea for me to swim
And I hear a storm is comin' in
My dear, is it all we've ever been? Anchor up to me, love
Anchor up to me, love
Anchor up to me, love
Oh, anchor up to me
My love, my love, my love

Amen, my mother is choosing her 17 year old nephew who is a sugar baby, getting his asshole blown out by 40-60 year old men and I can’t do anything about because I am probation and we live together. I’ll be homeless otherwise….
